We raise a special breed of chicken called the Cornish Cross. We house the baby chicks in what we call a brooder house. In the warm, dry and spacious environs of the brooder house the chicks are raised for two weeks. We then transition the chicks to the “chicken tractor” where they are moved daily and allowed to free range on the farm for six to eight weeks. We stay away from all genetically modified feed and provide the chickens fresh grass and plenty of fresh air everyday. When the time is right, we humanely harvest the chickens. After they are harvested, we move them to buckets with ice and water to help properly cool down and age the meat. The last step is to package and weigh. At that point, we place the chickens in our freezer ready to be picked up by our local customers or sent to St. Louis for easy pick up for more distant neighbors.
